Important Notice: Before you start volunteering at Kate Furbish Elementary School, please fill out this required form (hyperlinked) from the Brunswick School Department. You must be cleared through the school prior to starting, so please allow up to 5 business days for your form to be processed. Volunteers must resubmit the form and get re-cleared every year.
